Question
i have had my aquarium for approx. 10 years and currently have 3 goldfish. Their ages range from 6 - 8 years. I was cleaning the tank today and discovered 6 small silver/brown fish. they look like miniture goldfish. Are they okay to leave in or should I remove them? I don't know how long they've been there. re they baby goldfish or something else?. There is nomother livestock in the tank and no live plants.

Answer
Hi Elaine,
  Sounds to me like you have baby goldfish --- congratulations!   Personally, I would move them to another tank to avoid having them being eaten.
